Luminate House’s ‘Open My Eyes’: A Heartfelt Prayer in Song


Luminate House releases their 4th song, called 'Open My Eyes', featuring Joe Garza and Angel Toakesse. It's a beautiful prayer asking God to open our eyes to His daily blessings. Not only the big blessings, but especially those small miracles that often get lost in the hustle and bustle of our daily lives. 

Luminate House -What makes 'Open My Eyes' special is how it draws you in, and ignites a longing to sit in God's presence. Lines like, 'You are my God, blessing me always, true to your word,' wrapped in a warm melody, increasing your longing to those special moments that you can hear His voice and feel His guiding hand. 

'You make a way, open my eyes,' a chorus that reminds us that God is our waymaker, if we are ready to see it. Sure, life can blindside us, but you can count on God to find a way to lead you through it. It is such a comfort to know that we're not alone! 

Even though we live in such a noisy world, it is so important that create time and space to God, 'I give you this space, I'm listening now, as I sit and wait, Lord speak to me now.' How often do we take time to listen to Him? By listening, we allow Him to shape our lives and refine our hearts. 

May 'Open My Eyes' inspire you to open your eyes to His blessings, and listen to His voice. deepen your faith, and to remind you of God's unwavering faithfulness, Go ahead, give it a listen. I trust that you'll feel His love surround you.

(Related scripture: Psalm 119:18; Isaiah 42:16; John 10:11)

"Guide Me (O, Thou Great Jehovah) / Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Ezra Worship Initiative – Ancient Wisdom, Fresh Waves

I'm sitting in traffic, Spotify on shuffle, listening to my collection of new releases. That's when the song "Guide Me (O, Thou Great Jehovah) / Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Ezra Worship Initiative starts to play. The song starts with a revamp of a 280-year-old hymn "Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah", and then beautifully transitions to the chorus of Hillsong's "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)". This medley made my heart do a little cartwheel!  The hymn "Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah" (originally "Arglwydd, arwain trwy'r anialwch" in Welsh) by William Williams (a Welsh Methodist preacher) was inspired by the biblical story of the Israelites' exodus from Egypt. Williams wrote this in 1745 as a plea to God for guidance while traveling through life's wilderness. A 280-year-old plea that is still very relevant for us today.  "I am weak, but Thou art mighty // hold me with thy powerful hand," a thought that ...

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...

"Heartbeat" by Laura Leighe - Dancing in Worship

Here's a song that's more or less been stuck in my head since I heard it. It's called 'Heartbeat' by Laura Leighe and is what Laura calls a "reggaeton-influenced Christian pop duet" that's all about surrendering to God's rhythm and dancing in worship, no matter what life throws your way.  The lyrics remind me of two scriptures: "Praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe."  - Psalm 150:4 (NIV) and "Wearing a linen ephod, David was dancing before the Lord with all his might."  - 2 Samuel 6:14 (NIV). Maybe I'm a bit prejudiced because the song reminds us of our own thoughts when we founded "Christian Dance" years ago and picked a name. Focusing on music that allows us to feel joy and causes us (our hearts) to dance for God, a pure form of worship that we know is pleasing to God. The lyrics are about surrendering our control and trusting in God's plan. Laura sings, "I bet you f...
